Almost too nice! .... *** load warmer than here!

Rode there yesterday morning with a mate, he's also considering a smaller gear upfront.

Well riding it like this https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=330892313660471&set=a.330277087055327.75041.145596722190032&type=3&theater

That hasn't been determined as yet, they do have access to it though.

Barely been 24hrs, if a response is expected that urgently rather follow up with a phone call. He's a game ranger, not a clerk. Phoned the office today and left a message, but I do have his cell number at home. Shall call him over the weekend. Hopefully we'll have more clarity on Monday.

Well after the Federal investigation, USADA have access to a host of information that they otherwise wouldn't have had. In any case, in the scheme of things the investigation is more than just Lance Armstrong. Reading the letter from USADA and list of respondents makes that clear. He is the more high profile individual on the list though, so now all the attention is focussed on him, even though there's a broader scope.

www.obike.co.za and www.sportsbasement.co.za both sell end of line stock at clearance prices. So you can find some really good deals on older bikes and gear.

Any feedback or extra details?

In my experience David and the staff at Groenkloof are incredibly pro-active. Can only imagine that this is a big concern for them. Lets get more clarity and see how this can be nipped sharply.

Also a push shock as opposed to the old pull shock.

You sure? Think it's the Scott Genius, 150mm travel with Twin Lock. Still a sweet ride though. Reckon for trail bikes we'll see the guys pushing the 130mm travel 29rs and 150mm travel for 650b

Especially liked the part where they used their super powers and avoided the one drunk dude ambling across the road.

Yah, but comfortable. Think I'll try them out at Old Parks run tonight

Leguano, like a sock, but not.

Don't you ever feel like you're going in circles? By the by, got myself minimal/barfoot running slippers

My best times? ... Good times mon

This was an interesting opposing view to what Wiggins said http://forum.cyclingnews.com/showthread.php?t=17734 I get what they're both saying though and the reality probably sits somewhere in between.

Stuck in Marseille at for a few days, Rai broadcasts definitely seem to be the best. A Although the language makes it a bit difficult to follow.

Ok, that is cool. You know you got houding when a sponsored seatpost has your name alongside the Olympics on it. Go Burry!

... at ten paces? ... Or 29?

The North Face, Karrimor, Osprey, First Ascent ... all these make hydration packs as good as anything else out there, with similar to better pricing as well. Although I hardly use mine, more often than not I still use a bottle.

My mate and I had the halfway stop sussed proper like. Did a lead out that Cavendish/Renshaw would have been proud of, skidded into The Bioscope, bikes dropped, front and centre sharpish at the counter. Beers and pizza ordered before the mass arrived. Civvies stood around, abjectly staring, eyes full of fear and confusion. I just thought smugly to myself "Wait mutha *******, wait until enMasse arrives. It'll smell of ink, and bastards then"

Generally. One/two water bottles. Two bombs, a tube, mini-pump and a multi tool. Find that all of these including wallet, phone and keys fit comfortably in my jersey pockets. If I've taped a tube on the seat post anywhere, I just sprinkle talc powder in it and wrap it in a small plastic bag before taping it down. Pretty can be left there fuss free afterwards.
